In between the famous Baba Mountain in rural Center of Afghanistan there is a village with 2500 families with just two schools for children. Nine-year-old Fakhereh from Afghanistan isn’t content to be a goatherd. She goes to school and enjoys learning. However, she has to walk there on foot and the journey takes two-and-a-half hours. There are only two schools available to children in this mountainous area – one for boys and one for girls. Most of the girls only complete primary school and then remain at home. Only 5% of women in Afghanistan are educated; the rest are illiterate. Therefore, Fakhereh’s fate is uncertain. The little girl has to take the goats to pasture every morning and bring her father lunch. Will she manage to change things? Does she have any chance of following her dream?
